Installation of Matlab through network

• Go to Start -> Run
  

• type 10.16.4.96shares and click on OK
• A window will open. All the versions of matlab have been dumped and shared for network access here.

• • Through Terminal:
    Login as superuser into your Mac system and make a directory where you can mount the files. For example

  • # mkdir /opt/matlab8.6

  • Now open a terminal. At the prompt type
  • # mount -t smbfs //guest@10.16.4.96/shares /opt/matlab8.6(or)# mount -t cifs //guest@10.16.4.96/shares /opt/matlab8.6

OR

• • Through GUI:Go to finder and press (command + k) or click the option “connect to server”
  • Type the following”cifs://10.16.4.96/shares” or “smbfs://10.16.4.96/shares” and press enterIn the pop up box, enter “guest” as username as registered user and press enter, password not required.

• After successfully mounting, change to Matlab-R2015b directory. You will see four directories, one for linux, one for Mac, one for windows32 and one for windows 64. You will also find a file “license.dat” which you can copy to some other directory (/usr/local maybe) on your machine.

  In the terminal mode at the hash prompt

• # cp license.dat /usr/local/ (please give path to the directory where you want to store this file.)

• [Once you copy the “license.dat” file you need not download the file again as given in “Step 7”. You can skip that part.]

• Now change directory to “10.16.4.96sharesMatlab-R2015bMatlab-R2015b_MacInstallForMacOSX.appContentsMacOS”. Double click on InstallForMacOSX.The installation starts.

The next steps are as given below in the installation section.

• Login as superuser into your linux system and make a directory where you can mount the files.

• # mkdir /opt/matlab8.6

• # mount -t cifs //10.16.4.96/shares /opt/matlab8.6 -o guest

• # cd /opt/matlab8.6/

• Now change to that directory. You will see four directories, one for linux, one for Mac, one for windows32 and one for windows 64. You will also find a file “license.dat” which you can copy to some other directory (/usr/local maybe) on your machine.

  #[opt/matlab8.6]# cp license.dat /usr/local/
  (please give path to the directory where you want to store this file.)

• [Once you copy the “license.dat” file you need not download the file again as given in “Step 7”. You can skip that part.]

• Now change directory to “Matlab-R2015b_Linux” and at the prompt type ./install and press enter.
• #[Matlab-R2015b_Linux]# ./install
  
• The installation starts.
